| May 4, 2016 at 7:46 | comment | added | Flimzy | @user1952009: No, "science" says no such thing. "Science", at best, says that demons, and other supernatural phenomenon are, by definition, outside the purview of science. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 7:41 | comment | added | user1952009 | of course, science says that all the "demon possession" in religious mythologies are no more than (at least temporary) mental illness. | |

| Jul 11, 2012 at 11:45 | comment | added | Benjol | @Ian, my thought was similar: would Jesus healing epilepsy today be any less wonderful than him casting out a demon then? | |
| Mar 1, 2012 at 13:15 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | We tend to think of body, mind and soul as being separate, the people Jesus was talking to did not divide life up to the same extent. To a large extent why do we care how a person has been taken from a state of distress/illness to state of wellness/shalom, is it not the outcome that is most important? | |

| Sep 16, 2011 at 16:25 | comment | added | warren | Perhaps the question should be asked in a different way - "are modern 'mental illnesses' really cases of demon possession"? | |

| Sep 15, 2011 at 22:31 | comment | added | gmoothart | +1 for a good question. Also see Matt. 17:14-18 where Jesus cures what appears to be epilepsy by casting a demon out of the boy. | |
